Need to paint the walls when moving out of an apartment? According to US News, you don't have to pay. Just head to your local recycling center.

Recycling and hazardous waste centers usually take paint from local business owners who need to throw out old, unused paint. Since paint has a long shelf life, much of the paint that is thrown away in these centers is still good. And the best part is you can usually pick up this paint for free!

But wait! What about the color? Most apartment buildings use white paint or a slightly darker color called Navajo White. Due to this commonality, you shouldn't have trouble finding a shade that works. If you only want to redecorate, you can just see what's available and go from there.
